INTRODUCTION

Presented by Fremantle Arts Centre, Revealed showcases the creative works of emerging Aboriginal artists from across Western Australia at varying stages of their lives. Revealed provides a unique glimpse into Western Australian Aboriginal arts practice from young people exploring photography and film to older people who have recently started painting their Country. In 2022, the program includes this exhibition, an arts market, public programs and important professional development for Aboriginal artists and arts workers. The 2022 Revealed Exhibition showcases the works of over 100 emerging Aboriginal artists from 25 Western Australian remote and regional art centres, as well as independent Aboriginal artists from across WA, including Boorloo | Perth and the South West. Open to all Aboriginal artists living in WA, artists are selected by a panel of industry experts. This year’s selection panel comprised of Carly Lane (curator), Glenn Iseger-Pilkington (Curator Fremantle Arts Centre) & Sharyn Egan (independent artist). Exhibiting artists have created exciting new works that span a breadth of styles and mediums including painting, textiles, lens-based practices, carving and sculpture.

All works of art in the exhibition are for sale to the public, with sales supporting the continuation of dynamic creative practices across our vast state, many of which have been severely impacted by COVID-19, and who rely on the income of artwork sales to support their communities.

Revealed is an initiative of the WA State Government through the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries; and the Australian Government through the Indigenous Visual Arts Industry Support program.

Revealed is a celebration of First Peoples – of Country, culture and community, but importantly, it is an invitation to learn more about the recent, ancient and enduring stories of the places we call home. Fremantle Arts Centre is situated at Walyalup on Whadjuk Noongar Boodjar. We acknowledge the Whadjuk people as the Traditional Owners and Custodians of these lands and waterways and extend our respect to their Elders, past and present. We offer our heartfelt gratitude to the Whadjuk community and to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who continue to care for Country and share their knowledge – this generosity and wisdom helps us to understand and navigate Country safely and respectfully.

Bigali is a Yindjibarndi Elder born on Mulga Downs Station near Wittenoom. At only five, she was forcibly removed by the Government. As a young woman, Bigali moved to Wittenoom. While exploring the creek beds, she came across a bush cucumber which smelled familiar. She knew she’d been there before! The family was reunited but the loss of culture has never been reconciled. Today, after a lifetime of nurturing her love for native plants, Bigali spends her days gathering seeds, painstakingly turning them into unique jewellery that connect her to the stories of her old people. At 80, Bigali remains inspired by the beauty of her Country.

COLLABORATIVE PORTRAIT WORKS JULUWARLU ART GROUP

“This group of Yindjibarndi portraits show the different generations, it is a celebration of our people, our Elders. We survived because they survived the hardships, they worked hard on stations with no pay, only rations. Our next generation are here because of our Elders, we speak a lot about the next generation because they are our future. We painted them because we wanted to see them all together, all the generations. We go out on Ngurra, on our Country they learn from us, our story, our paintings we follow in the footsteps of our Yindjibarndi old people”.

These portraits were created during creative workshops held at the Juluwarlu Art Group, as part of the 2022 Revealed Creative Development program, facilitated by Andy Quilty. Revealed EXHIBITION 2022

Working with Juluwarlu Art Group as a young adult, Courtney has participated in workshops such as the Water Corporation animation project where she contributed a painting about Barrimirndi creating the Fortescue River during Ngurra Nujugamu (when the world was soft). The work was exhibited at the Art Gallery of Western Australia.

A Yindjibarndi Elder, Margaret began painting in 2017. She says her Ngurra (country) and Culture are essential to Yindjibarndi wellbeing. “When I paint, I think of my Ngurra (Yindjibarndi Country) and how it is so deep in me. Everything that is important comes from the Ngurra Nyujunggamu – the Creation Times that we call the time when the world was soft. There are so many spiritual connections between all living things and the world of Yindjibarndi people. This is what I put in my paintings”.

Deanha was born in Carnarvon, from there she moved to South Hedland and attended school in both places. Deanha currently resides in Ieramugadu (Roebourne) and is doing an Arts and Administration traineeship with Juluwarlu. Deanha loved art at high school and has started painting again since working with Juluwarlu, she enjoys the company and stories from the elders and other artists, it is the meaning behind the painting itself that is really important to her and her art.

BEVERLEY ROGERS

BORN Port Hedland LIVES AND WORKS Punmu Community LANGUAGE GROUP / PEOPLE Karimarra

Beverley lives and paints in Punmu Community, where she was taught to paint by her mother and fellow Martumili Artist Reena Rogers. Beverley’s aesthetic is psychedelic and colourful, depicting tuwa (sandhills) and kapi (waterholes) of Punmu and the surrounding Country. In Punmu, Beverley’s painting style has migrated off the canvas, sprawling across her possessions and ngurra (house). Originally intended to imprint her belongings with her unmistakable style to discourage unwarranted ‘borrowing’, Beverley has transformed her everyday objects into 3D 2 sculptures, maintaining their functionality, but adding that Beverley flair. Beverley’s colourful paintings transform everyday domestic objects such as walls, cleaning utensils, kitchenware, rugs into something psychedelic.

The eucalyptus trees are an important plant for Aboriginal people; the leaves can be brewed in water to treat ‘cold-sick’ and rubbed into the skin as a disinfectant. Traditionally, the bark from some of the species was burnt down and the grey ash used as a type of chewing tobacco. She also reveres the artesian water systems that lie beneath her Country. This water source is vital in providing water to all elements of the landscape, keeping Country sustained and vibrant.

Papulankutja Artists was officially established in 2003 to support Ngaanyatjarra and other Anangu artists from Papulankutja and Mantamaru Communities in their cultural and creative expressions. Papulankutja sits beneath the Blackstone ranges, the same ranges that the magical ancestral beings, Wati Kutjarra (Two Goanna Men) travelled around, transforming into lizards along the way. Papulankutja's name is a direct translation from this story – 'to stare without recognising each other'. As the goanna men reached the end of the ranges, they had forgotten what the other looked like.

DORA PARKER BORN Kaltjiti | Fregon Community in the APY Lands LIVES AND WORKS Tjuntjuntjara LANGUAGE GROUP / PEOPLE Pitjantjatjara

Living and working in Tjuntjuntjara, 650 km northeast of Kalgoorlie, Dora is known for her paintings of the traditional Spinifex Lands – a spiritual landscape steeped in tjukurpa (Dreamtime stories) that define and permeate her work. Working with a newfound freedom and expression she once thought unattainable, due to an accident that left her with a disability, Dora depicts such stories as Wati Kutjara Tjukurpa (Two Men Creation Line). This epic narrative, which unfolds in the significant site of Pukura, follows father and son wanampi (water serpent) as they move across the continent, leaving indelible reminders of their power and presence.

MARA WANGKAPAI: TALKING WITH THE HANDS

Mara Wangkapai is a creative sign language project by next generation Spinifex artists. Artists have been experimenting with video to create new signing stories using Pitjantjatjara sign language, a way of talking with the hands. Some people can fully communicate without using words but most people use sign everyday as an addition to speech. These experimental videos represent the colourful way people use their hands, bodies and faces to communicate with others.

WINSOME NEWBERRY LIVES AND WORKS Tjukurla, Warakurna, Kaltukatjara, Pitjantjatjara Lands LANGUAGE GROUP / PEOPLE Ngaanyatjarra

Winsome is a Ngaanyatjarra artist who paints Tjukurrpa (Dreaming) sites, primarily her grandfather's Country of Lake Christopher. Winsome favours pale colour applied in a thick impasto which are evocative of the organic, salt-crusted surfaces of the desert lake. These pale areas are punctuated by irregular shapes denoting the rockholes of the lake area. Winsome first lays out the composition of her works by tracing the amoeba-like rockholes, then adds darker colours to the centre and outlines of these holes before filling the remainder of the canvas with paint using punu (wood).

Forty years ago, the original Balgo boards – which started the brightest of desert art movements – went missing. In 2019 the boards were found in a Wyndham shipping container with considerable water damage. South Australia Museum acquired and conserved these works, which culminated into the Balgo Beginnings exhibition through Tarnanthi Festival. The old boards were hung with the most current Balgo works. Discovering these boards, as well as a series of return to Country trips throughout 2021, have led to a rejuvenation of painting practice in Balgo across the generations. To pay tribute to these original boards, young and emerging artists have been painting on plywood board. These boards make up a series of work by the newest Balgo talent, while honouring the old people who have paved the way for Balgo art.

LILY-MAE KERLEY BORN Yamaji Country | Geraldton LIVES AND WORKS Yamaji Country | Geraldton LANGUAGE GROUP / PEOPLE Noongar/Badimaya

Lily is a Menang Ngadju Noongar/Badimaya Yamaji woman born and raised in Geraldton. Lily’s work reflects her time with her family and being out on Country. As an emerging artist Lily’s preferred medium was initially silk, where she would use different dying techniques to dye silk scarves. She then began moving her designs onto lino which she would use to create prints for the scarves. Lily has recently taken up painting, which is her current practice. She uses the colours of Country, from ochres and earthy browns to the bright pinks of wildflowers, to the deep blues the ocean.

Darryl is a proud Indigenous man. Born in Esperance, he lived there for most of his early life, later moving to Perth. Darryl has limited spoken word and has only recently uncovered his creative flair, using art to express his thoughts. This sometimes can look a little confusing on the canvas, but also shows the pure rawness of his artwork. You will often find Darryl pointing to his favourite super hero, then transferring them onto canvas, taking them on journey through his artwork. From stop signs to fast cars, there is an entire world going on in Darryl’s mind when it comes to art.
